Abstract

Disclosed herein is a modular power and/or data system 100 for mounting to a substrate 200. System 100 comprises a housing 110 for connection to rear surface 204 of substrate 200. Housing 110 comprises a base 112, a top 114 spaced from the base, and sidewalls 116 extending between the base 112 and the top 114. Top 114 has a peripheral flange 114a extending outwardly from sidewalls 116 and having openings 114b therein to receive fasteners 300 for connecting housing 110 to rear surface 204 of substrate 200. Base 112 and sidewalls 116 define an interior volume 117 of the housing 110, and top 114 defines an opening 118 into the interior volume 117. A frame 120 for mounting at least one electrical power or data port 130 in the opening 206 of the substrate 200 is connected relative to the housing 110. The relative connection between housing 110 and frame 120 permits adjustment of a spacing S between housing base 112 and frame 120.
